Warm Furs and Cloaks,

The winter is now fairly upon us. Furs
of ali kinds are the proper garments to
wear, and The heaviest cloths for street
! dresses are desirable. Nuts have, this
season, recovered all their former ropulari-
, ty, and street toilet is not complete with
| ont one. The tippet is not worn, but boas.
( Of all kinds of fur, made round and full,
are seen everywhere. They are very long,
| indeed, and are made frequently to match
/ the muff which is carried on the same &C.
casion. The furs employed for boas, and
mnffs, are seal, beaver, black monkey,
sable, natural lynx, bldger. black lynx,
! black fox, otter, raccoon. Russian hare
| etc, and beside these, we have the Persian
! lambs wool which is at present so much in
| favor.
| his latter material, which is often land
| enormously spoken of as "astrakban," is
/ considerably used for making the short
! str ct jackets and coats which have found
so much favor with young ladies. These
! jackets, besides, are very often made f ON
! the rcu5h cloths seen so much at the COM
mencement of the fall season, and which
! have retained their popularity up TO this
! time. When smooth cloths are chosen for
making short coats pin-checks and hair
| lined goods are usually chosen, and a
/ pointed hood, lined with gay striped silks,
! is worn behind, or else shoulder
! reaching to the elbows, is worn. | saw one
1 OF these, a short time since, on q very
! stylish young lady, which was of very dark,
/ plin goods; the cape, made in the style |
! have mentioned, rendered the Young lady
! rather conspicuous, for it was very elabo-
! rately indeed profusely, ornamented with
! designs in broad white braid applied in the
! same manner as on a sailor or Yachting
| suit. Corduroy is frequently seen in these
garments; they are trimmed with square
! cornered revers of silk, in a color very
nearly like that of the goods, and with
/ huge metal buttons. Some jackets are
made double breasted, and they are also
/ trimmed with great saucer like buttons.
Among the favorite colors Of the season.
gray blues of various shades seem to hold
a very prominent place. One of these
] shades is termed "salambo," tint much
employed for millinery purposes; another
/ is "serpent-color.
/ Quite a number of skirt models for the
/ season have no front drapery whatever.
! The skirt hangs perfectly plain. This
/ style is certainly not one which any lady
/ should adopt unless she has very grace
( full walk indeed, because in walking all the
motions of the limbs become so far visible
/ as to render an awkward gait greater de-
! feet than it otherwise would be.
/ For street costume, worn by matron.
! a satin skirt shirred in panels is a neat
idea.
/ A charming evening toilet is made of
! cherry colored plush. 1t is made in pol
onaise shape, the long draperies of the
! rolonalse reaching n arly to the bottom of
| the skirt. The entire front breadth of the
! costume is embroidered in opalesce
crystal beads, which produce an exquisite
/ effect The rear drapery hangs almost
straight to the train, which is very long
and perfectly plain. The bodice is per-
fectly fitted to the form, and is pointed
front and back: the upper portion is COM
posed OF soft cream white tulle gracefully
| though carelessly arranged so as to cover
the shoulders and bust of the wearer, leav-
! ing only portion of the front bare.
a jaunty blouse for young lady is in
| mixed wooden material. 1t is cut round
| and very plain, both in front and over the
hips. but IS made to be belted in at the
waist with a leather belt. Beneath the
blouse vest OF plaid velvet app ars. and
this is bordered with broad revers of the
plain black velvet, which extend over the
/ shoulders. The cuffs are of the plaid
velvet, but instead of a collar broad rib
/ bon is drawn around the throat. and tied
/ in large bow in front. THIS garment
may be worn either at home or for prom
| enade costume. The skirt is usually plain
and with very scant drapery.
| For wear with listers and Newmarkets
! of checked smooth cloths, jaunty hats are
worn, shaped something like those used
for tobogganing. They are of the same
cloth as the wrap worn beneath, and are
pulled in the center, while velvet band il
+ drawn around to fit the head. A single
rosette or knot of ribbon is placed on the
front, and serves as the sole garniture.
Buokled shoes are TO be worn this win
ter, and fashionable fancy is to have the
buckle, which should be Of silver. made
| into the form Of the wearer's monogram.
